Climat: les industriels émetteurs de gaz à effet de serre reçus à l’Elysée

Ciment, aluminium, acier, engrais, sucre ou carburants: en pleine conférence mondiale sur le climat en Egypte, les dirigeants des cinquante sites industriels français les plus émetteurs de CO2 sont conviés mardi à l’Elysée pour voir combien coûterait de continuer…

Ciment, aluminium, acier, engrais, sucre ou carburants: en pleine conférence mondiale sur le climat en Egypte, les dirigeants des cinquante sites industriels français les plus émetteurs de CO2 sont conviés mardi à l’Elysée pour voir combien coûterait de continuer à produire en France sans réchauffer la planète.

Ce sont les sites sidérurgiques d’Arcelor Mittal à Dunkerque ou Fos sur Mer, les cimenteries de Vicat, Lafarge ou Calcia, des usines chimiques du Grand Est, de l’étang de Berre ou de Normandie, les fabricants d’engrais Yara ou Borealis, la verrerie d’Arcques, les raffineries d’ExxonMobil et TotalEnergies en Normandie, Air Liquide en région PACA, ou les sites de production de sucre de Tereos et Cristal Union dans le Nord de la France. Ils représentent 30.000 emplois.

Tout juste de retour de la COP27 à Charm el-Cheikh, Emmanuel Macron réunit leurs dirigeants à 15H00 avec l’intention d’accélérer la lutte contre le changement climatique, après un premier quinquennat jugé trop timoré en la matière par ses détracteurs.

Leur point commun est d’émettre des quantités considérables de C02 dans l’atmosphère, soit parce qu’ils brûlent du gaz pour chauffer leurs installations, soit parce qu’ils extraient certains éléments chimiques (l’hydrogène par exemple) du méthane et rejettent le CO2.

En France, l’industrie (hors transports et hors production d’énergie) représente “à peu près 20% de nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre”, indique-t-on à l’Elysée, qui a inscrit la décarbonation de l’industrie dans les objectifs de la planification écologique du second quinquennat d’Emmanuel Macron.

A eux seuls, les 50 sites dont les représentants sont attendus à l’Elysée représentent la moitié des émissions de l’industrie, soit 10% des émissions du pays.

“Le but c’est de baisser les émissions sans baisser la production”, précise-t-on au palais présidentiel. Et même “d’accélérer” la baisse des émissions (…) pour être neutre en carbone en 2050, a ajouté le ministre de l’Industrie Roland Lescure mardi sur France Inter.

Ce qui signifie dans nombre de cas: changer de source d’énergie en abandonnant les énergies fossiles (pétrole ou gaz) pour se tourner vers l’électricité non émettrice de CO2, soit verte (éolienne ou solaire), soit nucléaire, soit encore de l’hydrogène décarboné, produit à partir d’électricité elle-même décarbonée. Et dans d’autres cas, de capturer et séquestrer le CO2 émis ou de le réutiliser dans le processus industriel.

Investissements massifs

Cela suppose des investissements massifs susceptibles de renchérir les coûts de production et de fragiliser la compétitivité des entreprises concernées face à des concurrents internationaux moins pressés de se décarboner.

Après des décennies de délocalisations d’usines et une amorce timide de réindustrialisation de la France depuis 2020, l’Elysée s’inquiète ainsi de voir les investisseurs se tourner vers d’autres continents et notamment vers les Etats-Unis où un plan d’investissement vert alléchant (Inflation reduction Act) a été lancé par l’administration Biden.

“Toute la clé, c’est de faire en sorte que la décarbonation ne se transforme pas en une délocalisation massive”, admet-on à l’Elysée.

“Ca va coûter beaucoup d’argent” a reconnu Roland Lescure. “Mais si on ne la fait pas en France”, la décarbonation des cinq haut fourneaux dont ArcelorMittal dispose en France, “se fera ailleurs” a-t-il prévenu.

ArcelorMittal à lui seul représente 25% des émissions des industriels présents à l’Elysée, et 4% des émissions françaises, selon M. Lescure. “Je veux que les haut fourneaux soient décarbonés en France plutôt qu’on aille chercher notre acier ailleurs” a-t-il ajouté.

“La clé sera le montant de l’aide publique qui sera consentie” pour aider les industriels, résume Vincent Charlet, économiste à la Fabrique de l’Industrie.

“Sans aide publique, des filières entières risquent de disparaître” en France et en Europe, ajoute-t-il en citant le secteur des métaux de base, le plus exposé, qui “ne dispose pas d’assez de marge bénéficiaire pour supporter le coût de sa décarbonation” mais aussi ceux de “la chimie, du papier-carton, du ciment ou du verre, ainsi que le transport aérien”.

“Le fait que l’Elysée organise une telle réunion alors que le sujet est travaillé depuis longtemps entre les filières et les administrations centrales est une très bonne nouvelle”, ajoute-t-il auprès de l’AFP, “et si un cofinancement public pouvait être annoncé à cette occasion, ce serait un très beau signal”.

Miedema? Dutch government has never heard of him – StMaartenNews.com – News Views Reviews & Interviews

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: StMaartenNews

PHILIPSBURG — The Ministry of Home Affairs and Kingdom Relations does not know Jacob A. Miedema, the representative of a Dutch consortium that claims to be negotiating the refinancing of St. Maarten’s liquidity loans. “Nobody within the ministry has been in contact with Mr. Miedema about guarantees on loans or any other topic,” State Secretary Alexandra van Huffelen wrote to Minister of Finance Ardwell Irion.

Xavier Blackman, speaking on behalf of independent MP Grisha Heyliger-Marten, told StMaartenNews.com a couple of days ago that “Dutch technocrats know about the consortium’s offer to refinance their loans.”

Related article: Mysterious Dutch consortium interested in refinancing St. Maarten’s debt

But the State Secretary has now emphatically stated that nobody within her ministry has had contacts with the consortium or with its representative Jacob Miedema.

Minister Irion posed several questions to the State Secretary in a letter dated November 3. The letter refers to a coalition group chat meeting that took place on June 23, 2022, at the invitation of MP Heyliger-Marten. In this meeting, the minister wrote, Miedema “informed the group that he had engaged in informal conversations with technocrats within the Dutch government and the ministry of BZK.” This meeting focused on the preparedness of the Dutch government to guarantee the refinancing scheme. Miedema said during the meeting that “granting St. Maarten a guarantee was received favorably.”

But State Secretary Van Huffelen puts those statements to rest in her reaction to Irion’s letter. “It is unlikely that the Dutch state will issue a full guarantee on the refinancing of any loan St. Maarten has obtained from the Netherlands, because such a guarantee has no advantages for the Netherlands while there are risks attached to it.”

Van Huffelen announces in her letter that the Netherlands is prepared to offer St. Maarten a soft deal on the refinancing of its liquidity loans. The current refinancing agreement expires in October 2023. “The Netherlands intends to make multi-annual refinancing-agreements that take the carrying capacity of the country into account. This has been discussed in the Kingdom Council of Ministers.”

Minister Irion said in a reaction to StMaartenNews.com that Miedema had started to beg his staff to have him sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the refinancing deal. “That set off all kinds of red flags with me.”

Those actions came after the minister demanded a term sheet before having any more discussions about the topic.

In June, MP Heyliger-Marten let the minister know that “based on informal talks there are indications that the ministry sees the benefits of this option from short-term liquidity and long-term strategic perspective, and is willing to discuss a (joint) proposal from the island and the consortium.”

Irion: “Now the State Secretary declares in writing that no such talks with civil servants within the Dutch government have taken place.”

Ahead of the June 23-meeting MP Heyliger Marten provided the minister with the possible terms for the refinancing-deal: a ten-year loan, to be repaid on the tenth anniversary of the contract, against 4 percent annual interest, to be paid in two installments every year. “The loan will be provided based on an irrevocable guarantee from the Dutch state.”

Heyliger-Marten furthermore informed the minister ahead of the June-meeting that “the lender is a Dutch legal entity that obtains the funds from Dutch and non-Dutch institutions.”

Rosette Generlette, the secretary of MP Heyliger-Marten who at the time was President of Parliament, sent log-in information to Miedema and Irion for the meeting of June 23. The information is addressed to miedema@anfire-tax.com. But an online search for this company hits a brick wall and leads to the website of Trans IP, the largest cloud provider in the Netherlands, and the message: “Anfire-tax.com is reserved for a client of Trans IP.”

Scrap iron dealers plead again for industry to reopen

Scrap Iron Dealers Association president Allan Ferguson, centre, speaks at a news conference at Yzees Event Hall, Caroni Savannah Road, Kelly Village, Caroni on Monday. –

SCRAP Iron Dealers Association president Allan Ferguson has said some people may turn to a life of crime in search of income as the ban on scrap-iron exports continues. He again called on the Prime Minister to reopen the industry.

He was speaking at a news conference in Kelly Village, Caroni on Monday morning.

The six-month ban was announced on August 15, although, under the Customs Act, it came into effect on August 12.

An emotional Ferguson said members of the association have been calling him saying they cannot afford to take care of their families, among other things, and are “willing to do anything” to earn a dollar.

“It (the ban) costing us plenty,” Ferguson said.

In addition to those who buy scrap iron, he said it has also affected the shipping industry.

“A lot of them would have bought a lot of trucks and trailers to be able to move our material to the port and back…they and all feeling it.”

Prior to the ban, there were several reports of people in the scrap-iron industry stealing.

For instance, a bell was stolen from the St John’s Anglican Church, Petit Bourg, San Juan in July.

Ferguson sought to apologise for those in the industry who participated in illegal activity.

“I believe in God…and who want to hide, they can hide from me, but they cannot hide from God.

“I humbly apologise to TT.”

He said it “gives him no joy” to say that he believes the shutdown of the industry is contributing to the increasing crime rate.

“We worked with them, we bring them out of crime, all they know their whole life was about crime and we talk to them, we show them a way to make an honest dollar without doing crime.”

He added that international companies which place containers in areas specifically for stolen items to be stored there must also cease.

“I don’t care who vex, I don’t care who don’t like it.”

He said he wants to have a meeting with acting Commissioner of Police Mc Donald Jacob to crack down on wrongdoers in the industry.

Theodore James, centre, was killed in a freak accident on Monday. –

A Black Rock maxi-taxi driver was crushed to death on Monday in a freak accident.

Theodore James, 71, of Fort Bennett, was fixing his blue-band maxi at a nearby garage when it fell on him.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

James’s niece Liz James-Mander told Newsday she heard about the incident shortly after 10am.

“Girl, I faint away. Is something we didn’t expect. I saw him up to this morning – normal, talk, everything,” she said.

James-Mander said the maxi had been in the garage for over a year.

“He was trying to fix the maxi for the longest while.

“Apparently the maxi was probably in a gear and he was trying to fix it, so as he went under and they started it. They didn’t know that would have happened. The maxi rolled. I don’t even know what caused it to roll.

“Is years he trying to fix it and nothing, it just never moved, so he is accustomed going below it to try and fix it.”

She said for the last couple years his maxi has not been working.

“Since the covid19 hit, the maxi has not been on the road, since then he has been trying to fix it.”

She said another man in the garage witnessed the incident and had to be taken away as he was traumatised.

“He devastated right now, he’s out of it – totally out of it. He came to help him. And is not he alone, a next fella went to come back to help him. They were just at least trying to get the maxi to start.”

She said James wanted to fix the maxi as there were some complaints from people in the area about the unavailability of maxis to transport children.

She described the father of five as a very serious man.

“He was a man who was always on time – that is one thing. If he comes and he gives you a time or you give him a time and you’re not ready, he was going to go away. He was always particular about time – he used to leave people. He never use to play with time. He was very serious, but nice.”

James-Mander’s stepfather, Herbert Graham, said he was in total shock.

“Where you seeing that hose running, is wash I trying to wash down the blood.

“I don’t even know how to feel at this time. This just wasn’t expected – not to say that he sick and lie down, he was up and moving and now, ­bram, he dead. I see him just a few minutes before this happened.”

He added, “The maxi cannot tell the last time it moved from the spot. That is the whole fact of the matter: the maxi wasn’t working, so he use to work on it every day to try to get it to work. He accustomed going under it.”

The scene was visited by THA representative for Plymouth/ Black Rock Nial George and assistant secretary in the office of the chief secretary Certica Williams-Orr.

Police investigations are continuing.

TTUTA warns teachers: Don’t intervene in school fights

TTUTA president Martin Lum Kin – Photo by Marvin Hamilton

PRESIDENT of the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA) Martin Lum Kin is advising teachers against intervening to stop fights among students.

His advice comes after a video of a fight involving Tranquillity Secondary School, Port of Spain students was widely shared on social media platforms.

The 23-second video, allegedly taken by a student on November 4, showed two separate fights among female students in the school’s car park with scores of students looking on.

The camera panned to the left, and captured the female principal and a male teacher trying to break up one of the fights. But even as the principal got among the fighting girls, they continued to fight over her.

The camera shifted away for a few seconds, and when it moved back the principal was seen falling to the ground. She landed on her back, but the fight continued. It is unclear if she was shoved or if she stumbled.

A male staff member and at least one student attempted to help her to her feet.

No one was injured.

Police have since launched an investigation and taken reports from several of the students who were allegedly involved.

Speaking with Newsday on Monday night, Lum Kin said TTUTA has launched its own investigation.

But he warned his members they can risk being seriously injured intervening in these types of altercations.

“We are very concerned about it, and when the incidents where our members, whether the teachers or administrators, get injured during these scuffles and fights, we are also very concerned.

“The principal (in the latest incident) was thrown to the ground, and we still have to find out what caused that.

“We see in other videos where teachers getting involved would have had some level of injury during that scuffle.”

He reminded members of the possible legal implications if students sustain bodily harm or are touched inappropriately.

“We have school safety officers in secondary schools who should be intervening; we have school security as well. Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly said the education system will not be held to ransom by students who, despite the best efforts of Student Support Services Division (SSSD) officers, continue to disrupt schools.

She said the students directly involved in the fracas have been suspended and will receive attention from the SSSD.

“However, depending on their disciplinary history, their parents will receive expulsion warning letters on their return to school, or the students may face expulsion at this time.”

She added, “The principal’s report with full details is expected tomorrow, and that will determine the exact nature of the discipline to be meted out to each student identified as being directly involved in this incident.”

Gadsby-Dolly said the ministry and the safety of teachers, administrators and students is being compromised by a minority of students, “Who continue, by their actions, to disrupt some schools and bring the education system into disrepute.

“The law allows for such students to be removed from the system to restore an atmosphere of safety and security to the learning environment, and this option has been, and will continue to be, exercised.

National Parent/Teachers Association president Kevin David said stakeholders must do more to bring indiscipline under control.

“This shows the level of indiscipline within our school system. It also, again, shows the level of parental involvement that is needed to assist in bringing a reduction in these incidents in schools. It’s a reflection of our society.”

Newsday unsuccessfully attempted the speak to the principal who was still on the compound on Monday after school hours.

Secondary Schools Principal Association head Sheera Carrington-James could not be reached for comment.
